  Prince William Academy has been a Godsend for our family! We were relocated in December 2015, with no family nearby or familiarity with schools/childcare options. We initially had our daughters in a childcare center, however after 4 weeks had to find an alternative due to lack of structure and care. I attended a preschool fair at the local library and met the PWA representatives. My daughters are now enrolled in the Jr. K and Preschool 2s classes. The curriculum is structured and very well rounded and includes gym, language arts and cultural diversity. PWA is not just a school, they are a family and part of the community. PWA offers before school starting at 6am and after school until 630pm, they do their best to offer childcare on snow days as well. Lunch can be provided at the school if desired. The pre/post school and snow day childcare options are not available anywhere else. PWA has given my wife and I peace of mind knowing our daughters are cared for in a nurturing and loving environment and being taught by very dedicated and skilled educators. The teachers truly care about each and every child. PWA keeps parents informed with weekly emails regarding school news and lesson plans. In this day and age, when both parents work (or when there is a single parent) it is a blessing to know PWA is there to help you juggle all aspects of childcare in addition to providing a top notch education experience.
  February 2018 Update- My children have benefited very much from PWA. However there have been so much staffing turnover and administrative changes, I feel I should update my review. My oldest daughter is at a new school for 1st grade, she attended thru K at PWA and we loved it, she learned so much and grew tremendously in all aspects. However, her K teacher is no longer there. My youngest daughter is currently in PreK 4 with Mrs. LaCasse- who is an awesome teacher, who provides structure and a nurturing environment to learn. I think Mrs. LaCasse is 5 STAR Teacher! For PreK 3 we had Mrs. Khan and she is also an excellent teacher. The school principal left in late November, which was a huge loss for the school. He had a lot of energy, built a strong sense of community and had great ideas to move the school further along with technology and resources. The accounting person, who was meticulous in billing processing and procedures abruptly left and the billing process has had a lot of kinks as a result. The PTO is now essentially non-existent. Communication from the School Director is very limited and relatives are now in key positions such as Principal and front desk admin. While I am happy with the education my daughter is getting in her assigned class, the environment has changed and I’m not as confident as I was a year ago with my review because of all of the staffing and administrative upheaval. Follow your instincts.
